- Fej 10y agoThe difference, obviously, is that it's not literal. In a corporate death penalty, no one is dying, everyone can bounce back and have a second chance (or third, or fourth, etc.) at success. With a real death, that's it. The end of consciousness. I'm sorry, but I find the comparison ludicrous, despite the name.
- fmueller 10y agoThe employees most likely will recover but the company won't. So there is no bouncing back for the company, it's not getting a second chance if it's discovered that a mistake has been made. So in my opinion the comparison can be made.
- TheCoelacanth 10y agoA company is a legal fiction; not an actual person.
- warkid 10y ago> But all civilized countries have no death penalty for good reasons. Civilized like in 'western civilization'? E.g. USA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Unit...
- fmueller 10y agoIt's a self referential statement.
